I am buying a new build apartment in Bognor Regis. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bognor Regis

Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Bognor Regis prior to instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks tend not issue a mortgage on such a property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Bognor Regis. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Bognor Regis especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Bognor Regis.

My husband and I are four weeks into a freehold purchase having been referred to a firm by the high street agent to carry out the conveyancing in Bognor Regis. We are not happy. Could you help me find new conveyancers?

They would have to be very poor to suggest diss instructing them. Has the mortgage offer been issued? If so you will need to inform them of the new contact details and ensure the mortgage documents are re-issued. Your new conveyancer should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid escalating expenses and frustration. That should be your starting point. The find a solicitor tool should assist you in finding a bank approved lawyer for your home move in Bognor Regis

My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Bognor Regis. I I would like to check if they are on the lender's approved list of lawyers. Can you assist?

One option is to call your solicitor to check if they are on the bank's approved list. If that does not help get in touch with us and we can investigate and revert. Should the firm not be on the lender panel we can certainly arrange a reputable conveyancing solicitor in Bognor Regis on the panel for your mortgage company.
